Yeah, I can see that, I wonder what will happen when he crashes and burns, when the Elon bubble pops, as from what I can tell it is just a matter of time...
He’ll still be a billionaire thanks to his other companies which are harder for him to rapidly kill. I see him having either the Lindbergh experience or the notch experience. Notch is still around, rich as fuck, massively bigoted, and extremely unpopular not just with society as a whole, but like in a doesn’t have friends way. But Lindbergh, he was a lot like musk until he ran for nazi president of America and was pretty popular until everyone who had supported him had to pretend they didn’t.
So yeah, either rich fascist who’s so lonely you’re actually kinda surprised he hasn’t died by his own hand, or rich fascist who’s trying to wade into some form of political power (musk being naturalized means he can’t be president thank fuck). Though there’s also the Thiel/Rowling route of rich fascist who is widely disliked but throws money at politicians promising to hurt people he doesn’t like and gets his way more than people would like.
